Problem Exporting Email Groups from Outlook Express

[Glenn Rosenthal]

I am trying to move my outlook express contacts from one
machine to another. I am using outlook express 6.0. I
have managed to transfer all of the contacts, but it does
not transfer the groups.

When I go to export from my existing OE 6.0, I only
have .csv option--no .wab option. So it only transfers
the entire list, but no groups.

Anyone know how I can transfer the groups under my
contacts to the new machine if I can only use .csv?

As far as I know, groups in OE do not persist, but you should ask in an OE
group.
This is a group to support Outlook from the Office group of programs.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and is a quite different
program despite its similar name..

You will probably get a faster and more expert answer if you post this to an
outlook express news group.

Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x

A good website for information on OE is:

Thanks very much. I generally use Outlook, but Cox
Communications supports Outlook Express with our home
connection, and they don't have the tech type support. I
appreciate your help.
